WANT TO GO SHOPPING?

This old early 1900's store is still open down near the old railway station and Harvey House restaurant in Belen. Sure, there are a lot of bigger stores in Belen, which carry a huge variety of merchandise, But somehow this old store brings back memories of stores I used to go to when I was a child. What is ironic in this age of the mega marts is that a large portion of this stores income is as a result of the sale of fresh and frozen chile products to about every large store in the county. Got a favorite old store in your neighborhood?
